Subdividing The Bainbridge Class

Some sources break the Bainbridge class into other classes.

  • Hopkins and Hull were oil-fueled rather than coal-fueled, had turtle deck forward and may be considered to be Hopkins-class.
  • Lawrence and Macdonough had two additional 6-pounder guns, turtledeck forward, carried their funnels in only one group of four and may be considered to be Lawrence-class.
  • Paul Jones, Perry and Preble carried one twin torpedo tube instead of two singles and may be considered to be Lawrence-class.
  • Stewart was equipped with Seabury boilers and was fastest of the 400-tonners (she was also the smallest).
